[Astrum: Heavens] The Galactic Cantina

So about those characters... the XO for example. Are they Storyteller NPCs or can we control them as well? Because at start I set out to roleplay pretty much everyone in my nation, and then after a while I resorted to roleplaying exclusively the commander. I'm used to single-character freeform RPs so this came naturally for me. Is it ok to share control of all nation characters?
 
The way I do it is that I usually RP a single main character, sometimes two or three, during a mission. I might do a little controlling of minor characters when it would be inpractical to have to wait for a mod to (like when I've had my character call up to the command ship as a demonstration a couple times). In my experiance, it seems to usually be a mix of mod and player control of the NPCs who aren't the big guy in charge of the mission, with it mostly going towards the Mod, though the squad/team/army/etc is following the player's commands.

He says, acting all expert-like, having been on exactly 1 away mission. :tongue:


But HDL is right - You have control of minor NPCs to a limited extent, usually defined by this factor: 'Would the NPC ordinarily follow the player's main character's orders?' - If yes; You have limited control over their actions and can bypass unnecessary mod one-liners, so if you tell Private Bob to open a hatch, you can have him do it without waiting for me to say he does it. - If not; Then you have no control.


In all cases, however, you don't get to define their personalities or how they might react to certain situations. I reserve that pleasure for myself and it adds more unpredictability to some situations- When you as players can't just go; "Every member of the team valiantly used themselves as body-shields for the Commander!" Or other such nonsense. ;)


After all they might feel inclined to plunge into that horde of enemies, to die valiantly for their homeworld - Eh, Freeman? :cool:
